Ironhorse Golf Course

Recently my wife Peg and I played Ironhorse golf club in Ashland, Nebraska. We were really suprised at what a great golf course it is. Hole number 10 is the most challenging hole we have played all year. The views were impressive. The course was wonderfully maintained. The pro shop staff were very friendly. We would recommend this golf course to anyone looking for a beautiful challenging course. My wife shops at golfskorts.com.

Quarry Oaks Tournament

This weekend I played another tournament with Mandy Houtz. The tournament was a four person scramble. Joining us were two friends of mine Jim and Chad. Both are very good golfers. We were competing with several teams of great golfers. It was a proverbial clash of the titans. The tournament was played at my favorite golf course Quarry Oaks. This tournament was a fundraiser for the Waverly school district. As a result each team was able to buy mulligans. If you play in a scramble I would strongly recommend buying mulligans if available. Even with players like Jim and Chad who are both capable of very long drives Mandy dominated on virtually every hole. We birdied 2 par fives and eagled the other. We finished the tournament 18 under. We had only one par all day long. The tournament was a lot of fun. I think next year will add at least one more female golfer to our team. I really enjoy playing with Mandy.

Tournament for Heart Disease


Monday September 24 Mandy and I played in yet another golf tournament. The venue for this tournament was Oak Hills Country Club in Omaha, Nebraska. Joining us for this tournament was my good friend Bill and my wife Peg. First, Oak Hills is a beautiful golf course. I consider it one of the best golf courses in Omaha. The tournament was being held as an awareness for the American Heart Association. Nancy Griebel died suddenly from a heart attack. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. The AHA recommends that women get their blood pressure checked regularly. The event was a ton of fun for all.

Stone Creek Golf Course


On September 29th I played in a 27 hole two man scramble with my friend Jamie. The tournament was held at Stone Creek Golf Course. The format was setup so that the first nine was a scramble format, the second nine was best ball format and the third nine was alternate shot. What made this tournament interesting was the 40 MPH wind. Every shot required the players to club down at least two clubs going into the wind. I could not believe how many of my shots went over the green with the wind behind us. Putting accurately was almost impossible as the wind would pull the ball off line. The tournament was a blast even with the wind. Stone Creek is a wonderful golf course. Blackstone is my personal favorite. Sandstone is the easiest and Greystone is the most challenging. The key to playing a 27 hole tournament is drinking plenty of fluids.
